honda hrx217hxa drive cable replacement

nellie-2009June 7, 2009

I have a honda hrx217hxa with a broken drive cable. I picked up the cable but there is also a new lever that goes on the transmission. I thought it would be fairly easy but I was wrong. There is a heavy spring and pin to be removed, but I am not seeing how to get to it. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Yeah..those are a pain in the butt. The replacement cable should come in a kit form with the new arm that connects to the transmission. To do the job (assuming you are converting to the new cable/arm), you have to drive the roll pin out and install the new arm..re-using the old torsion spring.
